Police have arrested 2 boys, Abel Miracle, aged 12, and David Agbagidi, aged 14, for stealing and snatching bags in the Bayelsa state capital, Yenogoa.

They were the ultimate tag team stealing machine until authorities put an end to it.

The police in Bayelsa State have arrested two minors who specialize in snatching hand bags in Yenagoa.

Abel Miracle, aged 12, and David Agbagidi, aged 14, were apprehended at Julius Berger roundabout within the metropolis.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Bayelsa State Command, Asinim Butswat, confirmed the arrest.

"The driver of the tricycle, one Jacob Philip, drove to the Julius Berger roundabout and alerted policemen that he suspected the two children he was carrying were thieves.
